On Ancestry it says that the BMD between 1984 and 2004 is fully transcribed. How come I cant find my own marriage from 2001 on there? I'm getting a bit worried! Naomi x

Are you using this link? http://www.ancestry.*co.uk/search/db.aspx?dbid=8753

yes and I'm not there! boohoo

you should be did you marry abroad? Jeanette

Perhaps the spelling on the transcription is slightly off. Have you tried altering your details?

have you tried finding it in your husbands name perhaps your maiden name is mistranscribed Jeanette

have you found it? Jeanette

If you pm me your details will take a look for you. Keith

OOOOOh ,Ive just put in my maiden name on marriages & its the first one on the list for Sept qtr 1957.Makes me feel very odd to see my name on Ancestry & to know future researchers will see me. I feel very ancient now!!

Sorry guys, DH nicked computer last night. I've tried my maiden name and my husbands name seperately and we're not there. We married here in England in a church.... Details are: Naomi Elizabeth Poyntz & Simon Frank Maynard. Married August 2001. Naomi x

can't see you there perhaps you need to ask some one who has credit on 1837 to look on image as you should be on the index Jeanette

It's just that Ancestry says it's fully transcribed so I thought it should be there. N x

I've looked on 1837 online its not on there either unless mispelt. A mystery.where did you marry perhaps they forgot to send the copies off to the GRO ? Kim

As someone who was trying to find a death that should have been listed on there in the early 1990's I must say that it's nice to know I'm not going crazy and that I'm the only one. I wonder how common it is that they forget to send the records in to the GRO?! Liz

Great, so anyone trying to trace us in future will be stuck!!! No wonder we have so much trouble trying to find ancestors! Do you think I should contact my local registry office or the GRO themselves? Naomi

Are we legally married if it's not registered anywhere??? Naomi x

Hello Naomi, How are you? On 1837 there is a marriage for August 2001, for a Simon R Maynard, but the spouse is not you!! The marriage took place in West Sussex, do you think you may have been mistranscribed?? Sue

If its any consolation... I was married in 1982 and my marriage isnt in the BMD either !!!!

If it is anything like my marriage, it is mistranscribed on the GRO. Would you believe that both out names are misspelled. I did report it to the GRO and they emailed back to say they would investigate. That was in August.
